Russian Missile Barrage Hits Kyiv, Damaging Homes and Injuring Two

Russia launched multiple waves of ballistic missile attacks on Kyiv and its outskirts overnight, damaging residential buildings and a kindergarten and injuring two people, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The strikes targeted thermal power plants and a substation. The attacks followed President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's warning of new Russian strikes on energy infrastructure and Dnipro bridges. Ukrainian authorities reported damage to several apartment buildings, with the full extent of destruction still unclear on Saturday morning. Russia has intensified attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities for weeks, particularly around Kyiv, leaving millions of residents facing daily power outages, water supply disruptions, and heating failures since the war began in 2022.
